Nutsert Swage Stud System

The ProRig Original Design Nutsert Swage Stud System is one of our most popular streamline stainless steel wire balustrade systems for metal posts. Simply insert the Left Hand Threaded and Right Hand Threaded Nutserts in to your metal posts using a Blind Nut Rivet Tool then screw the corresponding factory swaged Swage Studs to create tension on the wire.

To order, simply measure the distance from inside post to inside post between the starting and finishing points of your posts and provide them to Miami Stainless either through our online Balustrade Builder or contact us directly via phone, fax or email. Your wires will arrive to your door pre-swaged to your exact measurements for a very quick and simple installation.

Can I install this method myself? Yes, even someone with no experience can easily install all our wire balustrade systems.

Do I need any special tools? Other than common handyman tools such as an electric drill and drill bits you will need a Blind Nut Rivet or Nutsert Tool with Right Hand and a Left Hand Mandrel assemblies. You can purchase the HN-02 Blind Nut Rivet Tool, Left Hand Threaded Mandrel assembly and drill bits for easy insertion of the Nutserts in to your posts if required.

What size and type of stainless steel wire do I use? This method is almost always used with 3.2mm 1 x 19 stainless steel wire rope. This wire is the most functional for stainless steel wire balustrade systems due to its bright surface finish, attractive appearance, durability, strength and low stretch.

What spacing do I need between my wires? When using 3.2mm 1 x 19 stainless steel wire, you will usually need 80mm spacing (usually 11 runs) between your wires when using a standard one (1) meter high handrail. Please click here for more information on the current NCC Wire Balustrade Regulations.

Can I use this balustrade system on a stair or angled section? No, the Nutsert Swage Stud System cannot be used on a stair or angled section. However you can use the Jaw Swage Bottlescrew System for metal posts.

What size pilot hole should I drill for my Nutserts? You will require a 10.0mm hole in your posts to suit the Nutserts.

What is the maximum length run I can do? The Nutsert Swage Stud System can easily span up to 6 meters. Longer runs up to 12 meters can be achieved depending on your type of metal posts, please contact Miami Stainless for further information.

What size hole should I drill through my intermediate posts? A 7.5mm hole through your intermediate posts will allow the Swage Stud pass through. Please note: If you are using grommets, the required drill size is 11/32" at a depth of at least 10mm from each side.

Can I take my balustrade wire around corners? It is not possible with this system to take the balustrade wire around corners.

Can I use this method if I have timber posts? No, however the ProRig Original Design Threaded Insert Swage Stud System suits timber posts. You can find out more about the Threaded Insert Swage Stud System by clicking on the link above.

Can I use this method if I have metal posts? Yes.
